On Sunday, the Rockies vs Marlins game was headlined by some issues in the stands. This was behind home plate, where a Rockies fan is heard apparently calling Marlins Outfielder Lewis Brinson a “n*gger.” The team soon tried to claim that the man was saying “dinger,” who is their mascot.
Now, the latest n-word controversy surrounds an ESPN anchor. This is Antonietta Collins, who was announcing Angels vs Dodgers highlights. She was discussing Albert Pujols’ first home run against the Angels, since getting released from the team.
Collins initially said Pujols hit a “n*gger,” but quickly changed her word to “dinger.” Collins explains she said DIGGER and Not N*gger.
